"What is the greatest advice I have ever given you?"
"Don't be an idiot. Whenever I must make a choice, I ask myself, 'Would an idoit do this?' If the answer is yes, then I will not do it."

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, it is vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

"If you die as an unbeliever in battle against the Muslims, you̢۪re going straight to hell, without passing Go."

Found that whilst writing my dissertation, it just tickled my sense of humour despite the severe warning intended...

I bolded the part that is the main point to me.
---------------------------------------------------
"The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money,
than circumstances, than failures, than successes,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past. . .
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. . .
we cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you . . . we are in charge of our Attitudes."
~ Charles Swindoll

The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else doing it wrong, without commenting.

The early bird may get the worm, but probably is working for someone who comes in late and owns the worm factory. |

Movie: A Few Good Men
The Colonel (Jack Nicholson), when asked for the truth:
You can't handle the truth.
Son, we live in a world that has walls.
And those walls have to be guarded by men
with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You,
Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater
responsibility than you can possibly
fathom. You weep for Santiago and you
curse the Marines. You have that luxury.
You have the luxury of not knowing what I
know: That Santiago's death, while tragic,
probably saved lives. And my existence,
while grotesque and incomprehensible to
you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth.
Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at
parties, you want me on that wall.
You need me there
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...
we use these words as the
backbone to a life spent defending something.
You use 'em as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the
inclination to explain myself to a man who
rises and sleeps under the blanket of the
very freedom I provide, then questions the
manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer
you just said thank you and went on your
way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a
weapon and stand a post. Either way, I
don't give a damn what you think you're
entitled to.
